STYLE

He’s an impressionist and expressionist, he loves to explore waste materials too. Effa loves painting in cools of blues, greens and greys and his colours sometime seem depressive. He views Arts as a deity and its renditions as a ritual. He also sees Artists as creators and divine being sent not just to make the earth beautiful but also to solve problems that lingers in the society with their language of creativity to extend the lifespan of God's creation. He affirms strongly that "in art, there’s ample freedom to get more talented than the talent itself ".
